The first of April is always a welcome occasion for game developers to lead their own community up the garden path and to announce some crazy things or to integrate them into the game for a short time.
We have compiled the best April Fool’s jokes of the year 2022 from the survival & sandbox games sector!

Hunt: Showdown – Legends of Crytek
The developers of Hunt: Showdown were the first to release an April Fool’s joke this year.
In the trailer for the fictional DLC Legends of Crytek, a soldier from Ryse: Son of Rome and a member of the special unit from Crysis – complete with nanosuit and futuristic weapon – take part in the hunt in addition to the nun that is actually in the game.
Furthermore, a dinosaur could be seen as a new AI in the game and finally, a player even climbed a tower of the prison of the map DeSalle in a VR version of Hunt: Showdown.

Conan Exiles – Robot Avatar
The announcement for the survival title Conan Exiles included the robot “Dungam” as a new avatar as the biggest new feature for an immediate update.
(Dungam alludes to Gundam, a Japanese science fiction universe starring giant humanoid mechs).
In addition, extensive patch notes were released which included such items as:
- Purge System: Reworking the wave distribution to include a hot dog and drink vendor every two waves as our next revenue model.
- Due to player feedback, all skills were removed from PvP battles and all fun was removed from PvE modes.
- Added more new content for the guy with 6,000 game hours who complained that there was no content in the game.
Exiles, it's SHOWTIME!
Update 2.9.9.9 is rolling out, featuring much-requested improvements to bicep numbers and hotdog vendors.
Oh, and robots, obviously.
